Why It Pays To Outsource Your Copywriting And Content

A lot of times we want to do it all. We want to be part of the nitty-gritty aspect of building the product, we want to manage our teams efficiently and we want to communicate all these things effectively, so no one gets a mismatched note of what you are doing and selling.
But. You are not super-human and you cannot do everything. Plus, you may actually be getting the whole communication angle wrong. So, we’ve written out five reasons you should outsource your copywriting and content, from our experience.

1. Outsourcing saves you a lot of time. And we are not just trying to sound patronizing, we are serious about the amount of time you’ll save by outsourcing your content work and getting someone else to do it for you. That way you can rest easy and focus on building your product/business as writing your own copy isn’t the best use of your time.
You also get to conserve the energy you’d otherwise have spent labouring over the details of how something should sound, or if you are using the right words to sell your product or service. (Finding the right words can be an ‘enervating’ task)

2. Another reason that is often overlooked is the outsider/third eye concept.
And this is what we mean – It helps a great deal when someone else sells your product the way a prospective buyer would see the need for it. This is because as a product manager or entrepreneur, we are often so in love with our product and the idea behind our product that we assume that we can communicate our love for it in a way that prospective users or buyers will fall in love too.
This is often untrue. The prospective user/buyer only sees a need that he/she is trying to fill and most of the time it takes someone in their shoes to be able to sell it to them in the manner that fulfills their need. Outsourcing your copywriting and content definitely helps with this. Because you are living and breathing every aspect of your business, your perspective is quite different from a customer’s.

3. Professional copywriters are experts at getting results. Just like other disciplines, copywriters also have specialties. You can hire a copywriter who is an expert at writing for the specific field you want and you’ll get outstanding results. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you are the best at writing and communicating.

4. There are technicalities that go way beyond just putting fine words together when developing content, and professional content developers know these technicalities. So, you get to work with online copywriters/content developers who are well-versed with writing for the Internet or any other platform.

5. Also, you’ll be saving a lot of overhead costs when you outsource your copywriting and content. You are not paying for hardware and software, neither are you paying for software and hardware upgrades. You’ll be getting expert, well-versed work at a relatively low cost.
